About this man we know two things: (1) He enjoys the occasional selfie. Hey, who doesn't from time to time? (2) He never heard the parable of the teenager who took a selfie with a squirrel, then moments later was attacked by that squirrel while his mom laughed and took pictures. 

Like the squirrel that came before him, this swan does not give a shiz about your social media presence. "My brother-in-law got a little too close for his selfie with the trumpeter swans at the Great Bend Zoo in Kansas," Steven Takata explains in the video's description.

But in the end, "At least he got the shot :-)"
